A city is defined by Chile's National Statistics Institute (INE) as an "urban entity"[note 1] with more than 5,000 inhabitants. This list is based on a June 2005 report by the INE based on the 2002 census which registered 239 cities across the country.[1]

Notes

  1. [N 1]
    An "urban entity" is defined by Chile's National Statistics Institute as a concentrated group of dwellings with over 2,000 inhabitants, or between 1,001 and 2,000 inhabitants if 50% or more of its population is economically active, dedicated to secondary and/or tertiary activities. Exceptionally, populated centers dedicated to tourism and recreation with over 250 concentrated dwellings and that do not meet the population requirement are considered urban.
  2. [N 2]
    Urban entity with less than 5,001 inhabitants, which is not part of a conurbation, yet still considered a city, possibly to account for census omission.
  3. [N 3]
    Entity with 5,000 or less inhabitants that is part of a larger city from a neighboring commune.
